Welcome back to the basement yard. Glad to be here, Joe. I didn't introduce you yet. And we got Frank Alvers on the show today. Well, back up. Let me do it like. Welcome back to the basement yard. We got Frank Alvers on the show today.

Hey, glad to be here. Really appreciate it. And we got Amprisco over there too and his nicest shite. Nice. That is a really nice shirt. I actually do like that shirt. What is that? What kind of material is that?

I think it's knit. Take it off. If I come over there and I rub on it, am I going to get high? Rub it. It's a weird way to say. That's like a humping thing. I'm not gonna hump you. This?

I think you might enjoy yourself a little. Can I see? See what? The shirt. I'm not getting up. How are you doing today, Frank? I'm doing well. I really appreciate you inviting me here.

Excited for what we got to unfold today. And boy, let's get right into it. Frank, it says you're working on a new project. Is that right? Yeah, I am, I, yam, yeah, yeah. You work on a new project. Yeah, so according. We fucked this up.

Yeah. So do you remember last week and I said on the podcast that like... Greg said, don't fuck it up? It says don't fuck this up in bold and underlined at the top of this. And these are the tour dates. Guess what we did? Fucked it up. We weren't supposed to put it.

We weren't supposed to say it then. We're supposed to say it today. So we're doing it again. Joey walked in today. And was this why you said you were going to be a little late? Yeah. Okay. Because I was on the phone.

And Greg called me and he goes, why are the tour dates out? And I said, what? It's like, what do you mean? They're out, yeah. Yeah, I wasn't even thinking. I don't even know how this happened, to be honest with you. But I mean, listen. He walked, Joey walked in and he goes, that's on me, guys.

Yeah, that was my fault. And he's like, I'm like, what? What happened? Oh, yeah, yeah. And aunt didn't tell me because you're gatekeeping information from me. I don't know what wants to be said. If I'm told something, I mean, obviously he knows. Imagine if it has to do with the basement yard, I should know.

No, but, yeah. So last week on our last weekly episode, which was episode, who knows? It's a number. I haven't. I have it. 558. 558. Good time.

Are you taking a cocktail? No. What is that? Red Bull vodka. It is a cocktail. You do have a clubbing shirt on right now. You definitely don't have a clubbing hat, though. Yeah, that's a Mickey Mouse hat.

That is a Mickey Mouse hat that says Network. Can I ask a question? New York hat. How much Mickey Mouse merch do you have over there? Over under. Let's go by hat. Hats, over under two. Forget about hats.

I want overall pieces of clothing. Like, uh, four. No, you don't. Five? I've seen way more than that. A lot. A lot of hats. Pieces of clothing?

Six, six. Overall. You just went from two to six. I said four. Six. Seven. Maybe seven. Oh my God.

Can we just to be safe in case you're forgetting, can we make it an even eight? Sure. Why not? Just in case. What colors your toothbrush? White and navy blue. What about you? Red and white.

Okay. I'm realizing now that I had no reason I asked that. I got mad curious. For some reason, it just lit up in my head, and then I asked you, and I was like, ooh, I got nothing. And then it went there. You were hoping that in our responses, there was something to jump off.

I was just... Well, what color is yours? Let's finish it. It's black. What? What an incredible, groundbreaking contribution to this show? First of all, that was a real. racist look on your face. It's a black toothbrush. Big deal. Is that not weird?

No. If anything, you thinking it's weird is very weird and racist. Why is it? Yeah, you're, racist. What color are the bristles? White? They can coexist, Ann. I know how much you hate that. Is that not weird to have a black tooth? They're working together to get the job done. That's a very normal thing. Why? Do you think because it's like white toothpaste and it looks like shit? It's just a way. I've never seen a black toothbrush. It's like a zip. Yeah, a zippy. Oh, you got, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, you got the manual going? Do you have a buzz?

I got an old, I'll draw. Electric toothbrush. I got a quip. I use that. Okay. And you have, you got old school going to, I'm going to do the one that you bite down completely and goes right here. Give me a fucking break. Brother, just get fucking new teeth at that point if you need to do that.

Maybe. The idea of having dentures is not terrible. Yes, it is terrible, dude. But if you like, bro, look at, you don't. Take all my teeth out when you circumcise me and I'll never know any, any, like when I'm, what, what I'm saying? What I'm saying? Hold on. Hold on.

No, you hold on. When you're a baby and you get circumcised, you're like, oh, I don't even know, but like, I'm circumcised. But if I could have the option of like, yo, just take all my teeth and let me get new dentures every, every two years like a, like a new lease on a car and you got perfect teeth. You know, babies aren't born with teeth. I know. That's the problem. Technically, technically they are. All right.

Technically they are. Do teeth grow in your face? Yeah, dude, if you ever seen the x-ray of someone with, like, no teeth? Pull it up, it's going to make Joey squirm. It's so gross. An x-ray? Like, not an x-ray. It's like a picture of a skull, and it shows you what it looks like.

Don't look at the TV. Look at me. I was going to ask you a question, but now I don't remember. We're talking about teethless skeletons right now. Oh, dude, the idea, I don't think you realize how much of your face is structured around the fact that you have teeth. If you lose that, then you look like just a toothless loser. No, but I'll have teeth. What the fucking ass is that?

Baby skulls have so many teeth. Milk teeth and permanent teeth. That's what a baby's face is? If that's real. Also, absolutely heartbreaking that they have a baby skull. I mean, I'm assuming. No, it's like a model. Oh, okay. I've seen, it's like this, because you lose the teeth and then they grow.

Like, there's a lot of teeth. Ew, dude. This thing's looking like a fucking predator. I think I saw something that, like, Japan has just, like, tried out an experimental drug where they can just like regrow teeth now sick you just like anywhere you want like i get a tooth in my oh joey but i don't know yeah there are people that like were like um you know like in the womb if they were a twin and they reserved their twin they'll find like a mass sometimes on people that has like hair and teeth in it and stuff like that hell yeah no oh but yeah so

So our mistake, we are a unit here. We as a unit accept criticism and when we're wrong. No, we will. I will ride with him. I will die with him. Bad boys for life. Okay. That's literally count 15 seconds.

We're going to shut him up for 15 seconds for that. I'll lower it. I'll lower it. I'll lower it. I'll never do it. Bad boys for life. We're going back on tour. Tickets are coming.

Another 10 seconds. I'll shut up. Wednesday, June 17th at noon Eastern, okay? 12 p.m. Eastern through June 18th midnight. That is the pre-sale. The tickets will be available for General. So after that, we'll explain the difference between those two things later on. But right now all you need to know is Wednesday, June 17th at noon.

Eastern. Okay. That is when you can get tickets. Tickets will now be on sale for all the dates that we have so far. There are more dates coming. But these are the dates that we have so far from September to March. And the pre-sell code is basement, as always. All of our codes are like basically basement. So if you go to the basementyard.com, you put in that code basement, you can get tickets on June 17th at 12 p.m. noon Eastern. All right? Frank, where are we starting? Well, we're starting first in September 10th, 2026 in Durham, North Carolina. Durham, North Carolina. And then right after that, September 12th, 2006, Charlotte, North Carolina.

After that, a couple days later, we're going to be going up to the north central part of our country, going to Minneapolis, Minnesota on September 24th, and then a quick little stopover in Indianapolis, Indiana, on September 26th. Okay. So, do you want me to still do this? I can do October. October 2nd. will be in Charleston, South Carolina. So, Coralwana.

So, Coralwana. It's like molasses. Spilling out of your mouth. Then October 3rd will be in Atlanta, Georgia. Peace up, Aetown Down. Oh, en can't, m gaint, that's it. That's it. And then October 16th will be in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Where is that? No idea. Joey said that if ATL, if the Atlanta show sells out, he's going to get me at the A diamond chain that I can throw around like usher and catch it. That would be fire. That would. You buy me the chain. November 7th, we're going to Buffalo, New York.

Okay, November 7th, I'm expecting there to be snow and I expect both of us to jump through a giant table. Bill's Mafia. No one delivers the way. Can't confirm nor deny that we might Bill's Mafia it up there. But December 5th, 2026, Baltimore, Maryland, December 10th, 2026, Austin, Texas, December 11th, 2026, Dallas, Texas, December 13th, 226, Houston, Texas. And then that will be all the shows for 2026. And then in 2027, we're back at it. January 15th, we'll be in New York, Newark, New Jersey. And then February 5th will be in Red Bank, New Jersey.

I don't know why I said like I was Mumford and sons. And his son. February 23rd and February 24th We're doing two shows in Vancouver Which will be a lot of fun By the way, my birthday is the 25th So these are going to be like birthday shows The birthday! The 26th, we'll be in L.A.

So we'll be in Los Angeles In February 26th And then our last show that we have booked right now Is March 12th in Chicago At the Chicago Theater But yeah, these are the shows that we have so far there'll be more coming. There may be a little break after that,

but we're going to be booking more shows. So maybe at some point during this year, there'll be more shows if you're like, hey, you're not coming to Boston or something or whatever. But I don't know. We don't know. We can't guarantee. May we also take a moment seriously

to extend our sincere apologies to Greg. We did fuck this up. And we're sorry. We know that you asked. I think of all the things you asked of us the easiest one of them was just not to fuck it up. To be fair. To be fair, we did fuck it up.

He printed. He did print. He did and he told us when we filmed something the day before like tomorrow. Tomorrow on the episode. Right. So like, he did. He did. But also he's got a lot going on. He's got a lot of plate spinning

and it could be a lot more difficult for him than it is for other people. So we apologize, Greg. Let this be the first and last time we apologize to you. Oh, don't promise that. I don't even want to you. I will never apologize again, even if I shoot Joe in the back of the head.

Hmm. Interesting. Write that down, yeah. Let's get that on tape. But we're really excited, and just to reiterate, this is the first batch of show. So if you're seeing something, and you're seeing like, oh, besties, are you, when are you going to come to,

you know, Albuquerque? We don't know. we don't know but what is available is what we have and what we know is what's available if you want to wait that's on you I'm not going to tell you what to do

but we have seen in the past you guys are incredibly supportive and sometimes they go quick we'll just tell you that you might want to get in on the presale with the code basement not cap sensitive it could be uppercase lowercase you could spell it like Joey used to spell things on my space and aim back in the day

used to do it to Wednesday June 17th At noon, okay, 12 p.m. That's a good day. Eastern. Because then right after they can, on 3 p.m., watch the Sanding Out of Studios video, which it's available. That is true. You could have your tickets on Wednesday, June 17th at noon.

Streamlining this stuff for you guys. And then at 3 o'clock. So that week, you're getting Monday weekly episode. Wednesday, you're getting the tickets and the standing out of Stumiums. And then Friday, you get exclusive. Patreon episode if you're 2-2 on Patreon on Patreon.com slash the basement yard. So there's a lot going on there. So yes, the basemanyard.com. And here, just to, so people know, the presale is for us, that's where we've sold a lot of our tickets.

So the only difference between this is that this one you need a code for. The code is basement. So the tickets will be first available to anyone who has that code, our fans. So that is the code is basement. Wednesday, June 17th, at noon, put in the code. Boom, you could access tickets. General on sale is whatever's left from that, which at that point you won't need a code anymore. And that is basically June 19th. So June 18th at midnight, it will switch from pre-sale to general sale. So by the time the 19th comes around, you could just go onto the site and buy tickets without having a code.

I don't know why they do this. I don't know why it's the setup. It's an industry thing that we're not high on the totem pole to understand this stuff. We don't get it. And even if they told us, we don't care. I don't want to know information. And again, we're sorry, Greg. So go check it out.

Thebasemanneurred.com. By the time this is up, hopefully, I imagine that the website will be fully updated and, you know, crisp and clean and polished. We're excited. And they'll see the photo shoot we did. And also, oh, yeah, that's a big part of it too. Also, brand new show. Brand new show. Brand new show.

We are, we have been sitting and brainstorming. trying to make sure that we give you guys a wholly unique, brand new show that is an experience that you will not get at any other show even during the same tour. So, like, each show is going to be unique. Yeah. So, yeah, we're trying to sell it. What? Also, we're sorry, Greg.

So that's going to, yep. The show that we have put together now is, like, also very different than the other shows that we've done. I think it's going to be way more fun. It's more interactive. We're also better. We're better because we're better on stage now. We're seasoned vets.

We're seasoned. How would you want to be seasoned? Give me your three seasons that you want, seasonings you want on you. I'm doing a thing here, Frank. Sorry. Okay, forgive me for asking a podcast question. We're doing a, but Chimmy Cherry, by the way. Oh, but that's a collection of seasoning.

Summer. It's a sauce. Summer? That's a... You're going to... I'm pointing at him. I'm not allowing you to laugh at him like that. I'm not even...

Do you want me to defend you? No. What did I do? Nothing. Exactly. That's the point. He just victimized you on your own show. Remember, you could fire him.

I could fire him, or we could force him to buy tickets on Wednesday, June 17th at 12 p.m. Eastern. Ant said he's going to buy... At the basementyard.com, bra-mip-re-sell code basement. And said he's going to buy and give away a whole show of tickets. Imagine? What does someone get if they go to every single show? What does someone get? Yeah, let's say someone does it.

Restraining order of thing. No. we actually met some people after shows and they had come to a lot. I think one said seven. Whoa. I was like, whoa, that's a lot of shows. The one person that I specifically remember was she came to the very first show and we spoke to her and she's like, I'm from Alabama.

And she came to another show. And she was like, oh, I came to the Montclair show with my husband and I'm back here, but we've since gotten divorced. We were like, holy fuck. You know, we wish them well. but all signs seem to have pointed to it not going well. Oh, it went absolutely not well. Well to the point of it just like them not being together.

I think it was Atlanta. I believe it was Atlanta. And so I could write it down. What website do they go to? The basement air.com. I said it first. You said it in tandem. Yes. So Ant said he's going to give away a bunch of tickets. Also, what does the person get? What are the parameters on what they get if they go to every single show? I will create something. We're obviously joking around because...

Yeah, don't do that. What I was setting up was technically I'll be going to every single show, so I would get whatever that you would say would be for them. A knuckle sandwich. Ooh, put it in my knuckle mouth. Well, I don't know how to even interpret that, to be honest with you. I meant sandwich... In my knuckle mouth.

I know. I'm not like sucking on fingers, like... Liar. Hmm? Like, to call my mouth my knuckle mouth. What? I just want to say that. You're not sucking on fingers?

Not really. I mean, you do suck on your fingers. I've seen you eat a bag of chips. I don't think that counts unless it's the whole finger. If you get a little like a... So then you suck fingers because I know you do this. Dip. Why do I do that?

You'll taste something. It was a pure guess. I don't do that. I don't suck on my fingers. Honestly, I was taking a shot in the dark there. You go down a few knuckles. Whoa. A few knuckles.

Is this a knuckle? I don't know what that is I thought it would be a joint That's boring It's a first knuckle Yeah Mini knuckle So you think I'm going

Two at least I mean I can But I'm not I swear I mean there was a very viral video Of you shoving your whole hand In your mouth and not gagging I was very surprised at the

You know That was like eight knuckles Yeah you were down there I think I was two It was an LROW You were in your shirt surrogophagus. A sarcophagus.

You were in your esophagus, yeah. I think I was, yeah. I mean, do you think there's anyone who could, like, to actually touch, like, get low? I don't think they can go that low. I mean, there are people... Not their own hand. I mean, it doesn't matter.

At a certain point, the hand is not going to fit past your cheeks. Wait, yeah. When someone does a sword swallow, where does the sword go? There, brother. Into the stomach? Have you ever seen someone do, or the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, nail in their nose. I don't like that.

That one sucks. But where does a sword go? It's a sword. I think it just goes down, but it doesn't do, like, it's like dulled or something, and they can like... You can't cut your assavage. I mean, that's why I said dulled. I know, but like, ow.

I imagine it's a trick and it's impressive because of the... Oh, you think it's, like, fake? No, I think a trick is... It can still be a trick if it's real. Like, it's just like a party trick. Like, oh, watch what I could do. Can you imagine you're at a party and all someone, someone, someone... was like,

yo, look at this, and then they eat a sword. I'd like, the fuck are you doing? I would be more confused as to why they brought or have a sword with them.

Well, to swallow it. Come on. If you could swallow swords, are you bringing in a little like retractable sword? Like not a full-ass sword. If I could swallow swords,

I better be in the circus because why else would I be doing that? Like, I'm just going to like pick that. Of all the circus, like, skills, is that the one you would want to do? I'll be honest with you.

I don't really fuck with the circus. Like, I'm like, I just don't, I don't think that it's cool. It's not right. I get what you're saying. I just mean like it's like, I, I. Outside of the, outside of the animal rights issues. But yeah, outside of that, like, I don't like it. Like, I'm like, what is entertaining about this?

I mean, I don't get it. You've, you've openly spoken about your love of magic and tricks. But there's not a lot of that going on. There's like people like almost dying the whole time. I don't like it. I mean, yeah, I'm not arguing here. I'm not a big fan of the circus either. I feel like that was so like 50s and 60s

when there were people in wagons across country. Yeah, and I don't like the music. It's kind of scary. I don't like that. And there's like trapeze people and it's like they're doing flips and landing on a book. I'm like what? Landing on a book.

I don't know. I mean like I for some reason immediately go back to Dumbo and I just think of like the lion tamer with a stool. Bro, if I'm a lion and I see a stool. in my face, I'm breaking it and I'm straight for the jugular on this fucker. I will say if it's a real thing where someone got a fucking elephant to balance on a ball, that's fucking nuts.

I don't think that's real. I mean, we saw it in like a cartoon or something. I don't know if that's real or not. I think it is. I can't imagine. I love how they'd be like, we're the circus. It's an incredible feats. And they'd be like, here's a woman with a beard. Like, yeah. Like, cool, dude. If I was this. If I paid to see that, I'd be so fucking angry. Yeah. It's like, yo, the circus is in town. What kind of tricks? And it's like, this woman just says a beer. Look, twins.

Yeah, right? Oh my God. It's a guy with one eye. Yeah. What kind of entertainment is this? It's so low brow because they would just find they'd be like oddities and it'd be like a woman who knows math and it'd be like, grow up. Also, the ringleader? Who's this predator?

Yeah. What is this? Yeah. I mean, I think it is like literally like they're just like the smoking, like cigarette smoking. like evil little fuck, you know? Yeah, they got like twirrelly, twirly mustache. And like a staff. Brother, you're not a mage.

You're not a mage. You'll never be a mage. I'm not off the staff, though, to be honest with you. You would. You also would. You would. No, I would not. What a cane. Name one character in any form of magic or movies or TV that has a staff that's like,

I don't like that. the old guy from Jurassic Park you don't love that what do I what is he he's a billionaire that opened a fucking park that has dude he almost took the halls fucking out because of that he didn't do that that wasn't his fault

per se well you started it I mean but it has the little fucking mosquito in the amber on the end of it that's cool that's cool as shit I have a cane and has a duckhead on the top what's it for

it was gifted to me and I had when I had like issues with walking, as you know. Oh. I had actually used it. But it's cool, and you're going to tell me that if you got a duckhead. It's got a duckhead on it. What does that symbolize?

It was gifted to me. I don't think there was, I think it was the only one they were able to find. The only cane they could find had a duckhead on it. Mallard? Yeah. Nice. You would love a cane and you love a staff, dude. Not at this age.

You absolutely would. Not at this age. Bro, look at every, like, Gandalf? Moses? He's a mage. Moses, Moses? Oh, yeah, he did have one.

He's like part in the sea and shit like that? You know when shepherds have that big ass? With the hook? What's the point of that? Is that to like yank sheep by the neck or something? Or if they're like bombing on stage, you know what I'm saying? Like things are just not going well for them. Sly Cooper?

Sly Cooper's a good one. He doesn't know who that is. There's no, there's literally no chance. Is this more anime? Not everything is. anime. With you guys it is. With you, whoa. With him guys, it is. With me, it's video games. That's how you know it is. That is adjacent to anime to me. Oh.

It's unfair. I don't. It's a raccoon that. He's like a thief. It's a raccoon that steals things. He's a good guy. He's not that good. He looks cool as shit too, though, dude. You never seen SlyCoop? You've definitely... You know Sly Cooper. He knows Sly Cooper. He played PlayStation 2. He knows Sly Cooper. He knows Sly Cooper. You know Sly Cooper. Frank, I have no idea. You don't know Sly Cooper? Shut the front fucking door.

No. There was a different, like, raccoon, I think, that I was thinking of. I've never seen this person. Look up characters with staffs and or canes. And tell me that some, like, we got to go through these. That's going to be tough. I mean, how do you not know Sly Cooper? Are you thinking Blinks the Time Cat?

What the fuck is that? You don't know who that is? Blinks the Time Cat? Oh, Gandalf. That's a good one. Yeah, Gandalf is, you know, he's got stuff. It's good. Gambit. Really good one.

I mean, you don't like Gambit? It's fine. Is that the gun with the cards? Yeah. Yeah, I mean. Gambit? Yeah, we're phoning it in with Gambit. No, you're not.

Yo, it's Gambin. Rafiki. Rafiki from Lion King. Yeah, dude, that's so different. The Monkey King from the Forbaud. I don't even know that. Lord Zed. Lord Zed.

You know Lord Zed. He's not British, but maybe he was British. He was the like, it was like the power range. bad guy that looked like a skinned human that had like metal like a metal suit on but it was like skinny no i missed that i would have pictures how do they not have pictures on the side it's i don't know who's number one though you're fucking blueball on us here again of gend off of course you know donatello yeah oh my god donatello ang's a little ang is or right you know i mean i just you know if you if you had a staff or a cane what do you want on the top of it a ball

but like you can be anything oh i would really like it if it looked like a storm what like i'm a big fan of like when orbs look like there's a storm in it like an active oh so like it'd be clear glass and on the inside it's like a cloud with a thunderbolt so lightning staff okay i'm cool with that lightning staff i'm cool with that that that would be fun yo if i could be i would like to be storm i think i think lightning's cool. Dude, being Storm would be awesome. It's weather so you could control weather. I'm not hot enough to be Storm, man. No. She's the hottest

one. No. I don't like him. Unfortunately now. Storm's the best. You don't get to insult how he looks. I didn't. I do. Yeah, he does that. I do. You're not allowed to say if he wants to be Storm and he says I'm not hot enough, your literal

job? It's a lie. Talk about Hallie Berry. Were we talking about Hallie Berry right now? not only be talking about Hallie Berry, we're talking about like, uh, drawings of very hot women. Is there any men, Storm? Drawings? Storm is Aurora Monroe has been consistently one character throughout the entire run of. Well, I'm sure the fucking X-Men people are going to come from me and be like, actually, young men.

But to my understanding, it is one person. Also, a little bit of a reason why you wouldn't be able to be African Queen Storm. Yeah, I mean, yeah. I mean, I mean, look, I can't. He doesn't have long enough hair. There's some other things, too, you know. Skin. Ah, Joe is.

Boom. I would love it if I had a cane or a staff and it had, remember that thing that used to have in your house that was like the, like, magnet? And you put your hands on it and the, like, pink lightning bolt would, like, touch your hands. Yes. What was that? I have no idea. But, like, if you had a cane, that was one of those?

Yeah. Oh, see, that's cool. That's cool. I need it to be moving in an electric. Do I know cool? Yeah. I just gave you a really cool thing and you're supposed to say yes. Yeah.

We love you. Now, let's get back to it. I have a question. You hungry, Frankie? I got to go, you hungry, Frankie. I don't like how you specified me. I'm sorry. I'm joking.

Let's just because I'm looking at you. Yeah, honestly, always hungry. So you'll never get a no out of me. You enjoy chicken nuggets? Boy do I, dude. If you see a plate of chicken nuggets, you have a favorite... Are they dino-shaped? No, they're this shaped.

Here we go. Oh. If you see a plate of chicken nuggets here, which one do you think would be the best? Which one are you picking? Oonk. Oonk, unc. Oh, I have an answer.

Easy. What about the worst one? Let's go worse first. Worst first? I think it's easy. Easy. We disagreed on these kind of things before. I think we all agree here.

Okay. Honestly, worst? Oh, easily. Easily, I know. Okay. My worst one? Worse? Yeah.

I'm going to say, I'm going to say E. No, dude. No. I was going to say G. What the fuck is that? It's not even a nugget. It's a fucking circle. It's not a number.

It's a letter. I said it's not a nugget. I was going to say either E or P. Because P looks like it hasn't been cooked. Oh, P looks like shit. What about C? It looks raw I mean C doesn't look great either

That is definitely a lighting issue It's a lighting issue But it's a good size Look at G, what the hell is it? I think we could with conf- We could argue I think E, C, P are bad G is not that bad to me

G is getting golden G is not that bad to me You're not thinking about the shapes The shapes absolutely matter Okay let's go to the best one There's a unanimous best one here If we're going unanimous I will say the best

Best chicken nugget on this board is O. It's big. It's in the shape of a nugget, and it's got that brown. It's going to be crunchy. It's going to be hot inside. I don't know. Am I crazy for thinking that it might be A? Yay!

Oh, no. That's horrible. Why is that horrible, dude? It's deformed. No, it's not deformed. I mean, that's what you want out of a chicken nugget. It's supposed to, it's goop that's been breaded and dunked. No, I don't like that.

D? D is good. D is. F? No, D. It's too small. No, it's too small. It has a good hook to...

F is better than D. I'm gonna fucking F your D if you don't shut up and listen to B about A. Listen. M is good, too. M would be strong number two. M is a good one. M is good. Oh, though, bro.

What's wrong with O? I mean, it's good. I'm not saying it's the unanimous best. You're sitting here and you're planting your fucking staff in the ground and saying that it's O. I think there are top five here. and me and you picked like one and like two and three. Frankie didn't even, Frankie picked like five.

Would you pick? C? I said A, I thought it was quite. It also, it's the weakest. It is such an ergonomic design. That's a perfect like dunk and curve with it up. And it holds,

it will maintain the sauce better than, if a sauce is running off O. And what did you say, Jay? Jay could suck it. No, you said, I said, J. I said D.

Would you comment? complimented me on. D's a good one. I'm not going to sit here and say it's bad. I don't like. I do think, A, it just,

it feels like it has more of the breaded texture. It looks like there are clumps of breading on D. It's inconsistent. At least O, and O has like the wavy breading, too. You know what I'm talking about? And it's good.

It's a meaty bitch. That's what you want. I think D will have a crunch every bite. Yeah, but you're, you couldn't eat meat at a certain point. You could just have crunch. Yeah,

he's right. You have too much crunch. But like shit like E and L and G Like these are these are This is now this is popcorn chicken It's not even a chicken nugget Also what's wrong with your oven? Like we these are two

Different batches of chicken nuggets I agree With how poorly these are cooked I'm into F F is not bad F is not bad I think A fat full diaper

F is not bad Honestly I also don't hate G I'm not into it I don't hate it I would like leave it I would eat it when I was like fucking pissed.

M is also pretty solid. M is a solid one. If I was making two plates, I would give my brothers like B, C, H, E. I'd throw them a J because you gotta give them one good one and then P.

You know? Give them all the bad ones. I'll be honest with you. I'm eating the whole plate of these bastards in record time. I think I is like underrated. I is a good one. I is a good one.

You're getting more of a consistent. I'll let me ask you guys this question as we are continuing to parse through this. Best fast fry nuggets. what what did you say you said best

best fast food nuggets oh oh um burger king oh no oh what's the answer oh my god I don't I don't dislike Burger King

I don't know the answer I think Burger King you could get 10 of them for a dollar 49 well I mean those can't be good I mean I was gonna say if we're going price I mean everyone here is going to sit everyone that listens to this is going to scream

fucking chick-fil-a through the I've never had it I've had chick-fil-a dude so aggressively okay

and they hate the gays don't like that they don't fuck with the gay no dude they don't get down with the gayness they're not go ahead and get down with the gayness down with the sickness

but whoa so you say it's a sickness no no no no no don't do that don't do that don't do that Don't do that, don't do that, don't do that. The song. Right as we're going on tour.

The song, no, no, it's not. It's the cure. Gay is the cure. It helps us all. The bad is the cure. I would say, if he's talking about the chicken fries from burger cake, that's probably the best. Those are good. I think that they're all right, actually.

I know, I know, and everyone is going to say, like, have you guys even seen the videos that have had chicken nuggets they're made? The chicken McNuggets from McDonald's are legendary for a reason. You're getting a consistent. flavor, a consistent crunch. I mean. So wait, what's your favorite? What's yours?

It's probably McDonald's. They're good. They're fine. I actually enjoy like nuggets that come out of my freezer. Like bagged shit. Brother. If it's a dino nugget,

that's an incredible nugget. Bro. Also, I just want to say this. I've only ever tasted this at McDonald's, but the sweet and sour sauce, the green top at McDonald's, gape me and poured it in. That shit is delicious. It is a great, it's a great sauce. It's not even sour.

It's just sweet. I'll be honest with you. First of all, it was so hard to see where you were going there. Yeah. Not even top five sauces that McDonald's has. Oh, Frankie. Do they even have five? The best sauce that they have, without a dizzy.

BARD? Is the barbecue. The barbecue is good. Then they're buffalo. Ah! That's crazy. No. It ain't better than the sweet and sour.

Bro, sweet and sour is one of the worst sauces. I'm going to come over there and strangle you. Do it. I had it. It's not. I can tell you There is bad sweet and sour sauce Like some places have a sweet and sour sauce

I'm like the hell is that But the one at McDonald's is mad good It's rage bait He's rage baiting I'm not rage baiting I'm dead serious If they sold bottles of the McDonald's barbecue sauce

I might bathe in it That shit is incredible It is a good barbecue And I know I know everyone's screaming as guys It's not real Like fucking who cares We're at McDonald's

We're all dying We're all dying Dude I do Sweet and sour sauce is so low tier for me. That's crazy. It's so low tier. You don't know, I mean, I probably said this before, but you know what's just overrated like crazy and not even near my top five? Ranch. I like ranch, but it's fine. People go crazy. I keep a little ranch in my backpack. Yeah. My, my, look,

watch this. You hear me drinking a cup of ranch. No, I don't think it's that. Have any personality. Let me guess. I don't talk to me before my coffee. Also, we'll say this also about Mickey D's. when you get ketchup out of the little paper cup it just tastes better like the one that's like paper I like when I have to like dispense it like I'm an old timey guy at a water well

you know it's like crank quink hard yeah I don't know yeah yours is like you definitely need some WD 40 on yours you know what I'm talking like I know and it's like fucking like

spits out of you I love that oh dude bring back condiment dispensers I know people don't eat in those places anymore because... Well, they have my baseball games. Do they?

Bro, I also hate that, honestly. Like, when you go to Yankee Stadium, you're like getting a hot dog and they're like, oh, yeah, then the fucking... The ketchup's two gates down. Fuck you. What do you mean? Put it on it way in that! Now!

Can I have Sour Crowd? Yeah, go to the communal bin outside the bathroom, brother. That's where it is. Fuck. And then you get over to the fucking ketchup and it's a murder scene because people are like... Yeah. I mean, I'll be honest. I'm one of those people.

Are you slapping it down? I'm hitting that. If you're... If you're... going to give me like slap-activated condiments. They're not slap-activated. They're press. They're slap-activated.

And I love doing them hard enough so it makes like a crater, a ketchup in the, in the thing. Yeah, but then it farts everywhere all over your hand. I mean, a little stinky ketchup on me is not going to fucking ruin the day. Ketchup is great. Bring back the greatest ketchup invention that has ever existed. Disgusting. You guessed it. It was the green and purple easy squirt ketchup from the early 2000.

It's honestly nasty. Honestly, the best. Not good. And I know your gimmick is that you hated it. Well, I just think that it's like a, if I'm looking at down at a burger and there's like green or purple all over it, I'm like, the fuck is this. And you're not going to eat it? I mean, I'd give it a go, but I'd rather it be the color I'm expecting. And you think the color that you're expecting is red like a tomato.

I guess so. He's right. I mean, the green one was like dill pickle flavor. The purple was. Was it flavor? I thought it was just ketchup. I think they had one that was like a dill pickle flavored one. Do we do our annual Google it check-in?

Because we do this a couple times a year. You know what I'm really interested in lately? Relish. Sweet relish. Grow up. I don't even know what it is. Actually, no. What is relish?

It's like sweet chopped up pickles. Fucking good. I don't like sweet pickles. Dude, you know how I'm a gutter slut for fucking sauerkraut. Have you ever had relish? Like the bottle? Yeah, I don't like it. Bro, the relish comes out of the bottle, farting like a bastard.

It's a stinky. spitty, farty, fucking condiment. There's no way to get this on your ketchup without it farting all over it. And like when it's filled, because like when you have like empty ketchup and you do the last couple I was like, but like relish.

Consistently queefing off. When we went to the Yankee game recently, I got a hot dog and I put ketchup and I was like, oh, they got relish. Let me put some relish. And it was just queefing. It's like, it's like, all right.

It's good. And a little goes a long way. It's a spitty bastard. Yeah. I mean, I just, I've never been a guy for, like, I just don't like the taste of sweet pickles. Just trying a little bit. A little bit goes a long way with a queef. With a relish.

What? With relish, relish, relish. What? A little goes a long way with a quiff. No. With relish. You get a little bit? Yeah.

I'm all right. I'm okay. As I'm getting older, I'm adding more things to, My hot dog. I know. And I guess I'm fine. Soundcraft's right around the corner. I mean, I don't know why you don't start with sourcrap.

I'm okay with it as long as you're in the game. I'm in the game. You're in the game. You're fully dogged out. Yeah. And I'm cool with it. You dog how you like. Maybe that will be the next year.

The five years of dog sucking season for 2027, it'll be dog, get dogged out how you like. Dog it your way. However you like it, get dogged by it. It's a work in progress. Yeah, we're definitely going to workshop that a little. We're going to church. Chop it a little. You know what I had recently this past weekend? A briosch a bun?

Hell yeah. Not a hot dog, a hamburger where the bros bun. Hell yeah. Bro, I love him, but my God, it's like eating a fucking loaf of bread. I will say this, and it has not happened yet. I am cautiously optimistic about a pretzel bun on a burger. Because I love pretzels. A pretzel bun that's got the flakes on the top?

Dude, I am so in on salt on a bun. Hawaiian! What are those called? The Hawaiian rolls. Why are they? What are they? I figure it's just a branding thing. I don't know.

Dude, we made some dinners with those. What you do is you cut the bottom half, put them in a pan. Then you put raw meat on top and then the top on like cheese and then the thing on. And then you cook it in the oven. Like it's a fucking burger and it comes out. It'll... Hawaiian buns are fucking great. I don't...

Yeah, I'm kind of on board when people make like pulled pork sandwiches on them. Oh, don't even. Piss me off. God, I love them. Oh, okay. I didn't know if you're pissing you up.

Oh my God. Sliders are great. You don't like sliding? I like sliding. I think that the thing that sliders is like sometimes I just want a whole burger. That's why you eat three.

I could eat 12 sliders off fucking rip, dude. Bro, no one's stopping you. I feel like I'd be a piece of shit if I did that, though. Just give me two of my own burgers instead of 12 communal sliders. I like a slider.

I guess. Ooh, I would like a burger flight. We just talked about flights. Oh! Can you imagine like bison burger, cheeseburger, hamburger? I'm out on hamburgers, by the way. I don't think...

Almost a burger. Just, I mean... You're right there. You were upstaged by your cooler cousin who has cheese on them. And like, just put it on. Yeah, I guess I don't understand the whole idea of hamburgers. Like, you're just, just go.

What? Just go. I understand people like, I'm lactose. Bro, so am I. Take some diarrhea and be a man about it, her lady or a nice woman. Be a man, shit your pants. Yeah, be a man or a nice woman and shit your pants with diarrhea with the lactose intolerant. Who cares?

It's one sheet of cheese. You know where I'm starting to come around? Oh, you're changing stuff? not changing, but like I'm seeing more of an appreciation for it in my older years. Breakfast burgers. With just like an egg on the bitch? Just throw an egg on it and it's a burger. Because realistically, I know, I know, I know you should start the day with like a healthier thing to like jumpstart your system and like it shouldn't be as heavy.

But like if I like an over easy egg and grits, what's the difference between having it and then throwing it on top of a cheeseburger? I mean, you make a fair point. I also don't think that the laws of health should apply if you're visiting a city. Health only matters when you're eating in your home. That's it. It definitely doesn't matter at any sporting event. No. It absolutely does not matter on vacation.

No. If I'm not in the state that I live in, I'm fine. Yeah. Also, if it's a bruntary. Yeah, I think we know that. Well, you see a brunch I eat normal stuff. The confines of your healthy lifestyle are within the confines of your home. Yeah.

Going out to eat for the most part, I think you're pretty health conscious when you go out to eat. Like, we'll be at a restaurant and you'll be like, let me get the grilled chicken. This fucking guy. Oh, I love him to death. I'm going to call him out. Me? No. Mikey.

I love him so much. Yeah. And the dude is absolutely sure. dreaded like a bag of mozzarella. He really is. But like, anywhere we go. Ooh, I'll get the avocado toast.

Brother. And listen, if you're going to order the avocado toast, order the avocado toast. Ooh, I'll get the falafel wrap. Please, Mikey. Hey, wait, I've had good falafers. I know. I'm not arguing. I know falafel is good.

I don't like... Please, man. For fucking once, get a cheeseburger. I just don't like how he sells the avocado toast. Oh, that looks good. it's the same everywhere. Why? Because they put pickled red onion, which I'm a fan of on it, and some micro greens.

Yo. Oh my God. Mikey. Low key, low key. Pickled red onions. So, so clutch, dude. What the fuck? So good, dude.

So good. You know, it's going to fucking just absolutely bend you over and spit directly straight through your asshole out your mouth? Pickled jalapinos. Ooh, I do like those. pickled jalapinos are going to light a Christmas tree on fire and take the presents like the Grinch

You know what I'm saying? I do Anything pickled I went to a farmer's market In Asbury Park No pickled eggs Fuck out of here It was like pickle dags

Pickled eggs Pickle eggs are disgusting Pickled beets too Love pickle beats Now we're pretending No we're not Pickled beats are good That's like eating a wet shirt

That's what eating like Pickled beats is like eating a red shirt like out of the laundry Why it's so funny to me It's gross I don't like like beats are like I could see what you're saying It'd be like chewing on like a like a freshly tiedied t-shirt

And I also I also like Every time I eat a beat I'm like I was expecting this to be different I was on your side And then Becca has turned me around on beats She turned me out on beats Which oh you like beats I love beats now, dude.

Yeah, I love, I can't. I love beats. She has made some of the best beat. Like, she did, like, roasted beets in balsamic and fetticee once. Balsamic can make anything taste good. I had a balsamic marinated steak for the first time the other day. Oh, fuck. Balsamic is so good.

What is that shit? Grapes. Nice. It is grapes. Balsamic is fantastic. But I don't understand how it's grapes, but it's grapes. But it's grapes. Don't ask me what balsamic is.

But it's grapes. No, it's good. I fucking love that shit. Balsamic also just pairs so well with a piece of mozzarella. When it's thick and it's like a drizzle. What it's like a syrup? What it's like a syrupy, drizzly glaze? I hate it when it gets in my hands and that pisses me off.

Can you tell we're hungry? Oh my God. Can you tell? A fucking sticky balsamic? A sticky like fig balsamic? Yeah. Fig. Frank, don't make you.

Yeah. I know how. you feel on figs? Yeah, I got a... Bro, the other morning, listen. Wow, you tucking it in? I'm fixing it in. I'm fixing my boner because of fig. You got a fig boner.

Yeah. Okay. But I don't like figs. I like figs. Becca turned me out on figs. She's opened my life to so much. A lot of it, food-related. Figs?

Also, you said turned me out on figs. I know. That's obviously... Got it. That's a joke. I didn't know if you were doing it as a joke or doing it because of incorrect. It was a joke. It was fully a purposeful joke.

Purposeful joke. Because it's grapes. Because it's grapes. We do have more sponsors. Let me get to those before we continue with this conversation that I have no idea where it's going. We have Magic Spoon. Magic Spoon. These things are like magic.

Okay. They are unbelievable. If you don't know Magic Spoon, they make a cereal. Okay, that is high protein zero sugar cereal. All right. You want to start your day. this is what you want to do and they're delicious. You would think that something like this, like, oh, maybe it doesn't tell.

No, they're great. They taste so good. Okay, they have each serving packs 12 to 14 grams of protein, zero to two grams of sugar, four to five net carbs, certified gluten-free, but they have delicious. They have delicious. There's a fruity one. There's a chocolate one.

Every single one that I've had has been great. So go check them out. They are like these like crispy treats and they have 12 grams of protein, seven grams of fiber, zero grams of added sugar, two to three net carbs and also certified gluten free. Okay. So if you're

going to want to try and, you know, replace some of the other snacks that you've had and some of the other cereals you've had, here's a good alternative where you can get 12 to 14 grams of protein in a serving.

And lastly here, we have Warby Parker and

Warby Parker, they make glasses. But seriously, like, you can walk into a Warby Parker and they can do like a eye exam for you. And I've walked into one into a grand central station. I think I went into that one. And it's like all in one place. You go in there. You can get a little prescription thing and you're good to go.

But they have a lot of glasses, high quality and very affordable. I don't know what it is, but sometimes you go into a place, you try to get glasses. hundreds and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars for these glasses. I don't know what they're made out of. It's insane. But Warby Parker, nothing comes close on quality, price, selection, and customer service. They are great. And they have over 300 retail stores across the U.S., but you have the in-person option,

which I would opt for, honestly. I like to put them on my face and look in the mirror and go, how about these? You know, that's what I like to do. So you can go into a store and do that as well. They have distributed over 20 million pairs of glasses. all right to people in neat for every pair

All right. By the way, can we talk about Google? Google. Let's talk about Google. Let's talk about Google. Let's talk about Google. Let's get after your Google. Let's talk about search engines. Hey, Google. What's up? No. Google is... Apparently their offices are... cool, dude. To fucking Google. They better be cool. Are they?

I better be able to take a slide to my office or something. Dude, if I'm a Google employee, I'm being like, please give me like a fucking arcade machine in my office or something. I'm sure they have that. They can do whatever the hell they want.

They can Google it. Yeah. Google is apparently planning to, or they're trying to get this thing passed where they're allowed to release 30 million mosquitoes in California and Florida

to combat a disease of some kind. With mosquitoes? Yeah, with like they were going to, like... This is just hitting me as I'm saying this. Google has 30 million mosquitoes. Wait. How do you have a mosquito? Yeah, wait a sec.

30 million. Google. How do you have 30 million? You are very famously not in the mosquito. Insects or bugs or animal business. Where are you keeping these 30 million mosquitoes? If Google is doing anything, I want them to be like,

we're releasing a search engine that... An update. We'll just show you pictures of puppies. Yeah. Like only pictures of puppies. You can type in anything you want. It could be like, you know, potholes in western Tennessee, and it'll just be pictures of puppies.

They're releasing them in two teams. 16 million going in California, 16 million going to Florida. What are they combating? I'm trying to find them. that. I heard it's like a disease that is being spread via mosquito bites and the idea is that they're basically sending out mosquitoes who fish don't swim. You catch my drift. Oh, jizzless ones? Like they are just like they are they are just no jizzies. Oh, I honestly thought it was more sinister than that. Oh, you thought well I mean it's Google so you never know. I thought that they were like we're going to inject these

things and they're essentially going to like. But also, yeah, Google, why do you have 32 million? Where do you keep 32 million mosquitoes? Where do you, how do you even get a mosquito? Like, yeah, we're just going to open the door to our basement and like, what? You leave a bunch of fruit out or? And also, how are you transporting 32 million mosquitoes? And what is, you get them in a jar? What does 32 million mosquitoes look like? Yeah, it's probably like dark. Like, I like, completely like, I don't know, like, if you had them in a jar. Oh, maybe they just like have like a farm. And they had mosquitoes and they let them mate all the time.

But then how do they get them to have their nuts not work? Because I saw that it's like the guys they're setting them out there and they got no nuts. And then like... Can we confirm? I'm trying. I'm trying. It's a lot happening at once. The idea, I saw this.

The idea is that like they're going to mate with the females and the eggs are going to be basically like they're not going to work. Shoot blanks. Yeah. They're going to shoot blanks because they got no nuts. They don't individually chop off every mosquito nut. What they do is infect them with a specific virus that makes them sterile. virus. Oh wow. And they're combating. What's the, what's the virus? It's called a, uh, being a fucking,

I got it. Just leave me alone. Give me a sec. Being a fucking in cell. All right. To make them sterile, you're saying? It's called, all right, we'll try. Uh, Walbachia? Nope. No, dude, that's a Baltic country. Shit. I thought, I thought he was doing a gotcha. No, no, I'm serious. That's what it's called.

But the virus they're fighting, I couldn't find it because it's fighting them all, essentially. Like West Nile, the Zika, malaria, it's trying to get rid of a bunch. So kind of cool. I mean, that is good. Wait, wouldn't we get more mosquito bites, though? I mean, yes, but you're getting fine mosquito bites. You're not getting the ones that are going to be, like, harmful to you and or your unborn child. They specifically asked that question because they knew someone wearing a hat would.

Did they say anything about the sleevel shirt and something in there? It's all the same. They were building a character. They're building a character. These don't bite. So they're biteless, ballless mosquitoes that are just roaming around. What are they even for? Like grandpas?

For this? So they got dicks, but they got no balls and they got no mouth. Are you even listening? Honestly, I'm on board now. Because I feel like once a year you always hear, we're releasing 100,000 mosquitoes or a million mosquitoes. I've never in my life heard that. It's like they've done this like 4,000 times.

What? What? work? They keep doing it. I don't think so. Maybe it's like one of those things. I've never ever heard them do this. No.

No. Well, maybe they're getting better at it. They're called the good bugs. Wait, why are they doing it in Florida and California in New York? And why does Google have a surplus of fucking limpless, dickless, jizzless, mouthless fucking mosquitoes? That's a fair question. Dude, your Google. Just let us look up stuff on your websites.

They have access to too much information, so that's how they're able to like. They're like bored. Like they're like, you know, like Jeff Bezos now likes to race cars. Like that's what they're doing now. He's racing cars? I don't know. I'm Frankie Munez.

You mixed up Frankie Munez and Jeff Bezos. Completely different planets. I mean, two cultural icons. What do you think this program's called? Project Suckum. Got it. I don't know Project let the bed bugs bite

Got it Um Uh Uh, Uh, uh, Project Cousinsquito It's just called the debug program

Okay I will say All three of those are better than that Yeah, Running by Frankie Moodin' Cousin'Cito Run him by Frankie Munoz see if he's on board Cousin Mosquito

That's pretty much what's going on. I mean, yeah, no, that's weird to have all those, but I used to have a fruit fly problem. Everyone has had a fruit fly problem at one point. Explain this to me about fruit flies, because every single time that I have... They're there. Do they, are they born out of food? I think, I think. Legitimately, like, I think that.

Because I'm like, my entire apartment is sealed. And if I leave food, like, in the trash or whatever, like, they'll just appear in the trash. So to my understanding, which could be proven quite possible. to be not real or not a lot. I believe that food does come sometimes, like, organic specifically, too, because they don't sprain with pesticides to prevent stuff like that. Like, there might be some, there might be some eggs and larva in there. So you might be munching and crunching on some bugs before you even know it. I'm sure we are. Have you ever seen a video on TikTok of someone washing fruit and they show the water afterwards? I'm like, Jesus. Love it. Love it, love it, love it.

Yeah, but they like really do a deep clean. I do sometimes. It really depends on my mood. I do sometimes berries. I have like that like thing that you like press down and it spins it. I love that fucking thing. I do too. The salad washer. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, I get that thing. I swear to God.

I have convinced myself I'm this close to splitting the atom with that thing. Bro, legitimately when I'm fucking doing this thing, I'm like, oh my God. I'm like I'm pushing on that thing and it's like. Yeah, the fucking romaine lettuce in this thing is pulling 5Gs. Yes. It really really is. It's like up against the wall. Like, yo, we're dry. It's that fucking thing at all like six flags and all the amusement.

parks where like the walls go fast and then the kids like try to like turn upside down and they get yelled at by like the 14 year old that's operating the ride shouldn't happen i'm convinced that if i do it hard enough it'll just like take flight i am too i swear to god i just love to feel that power that i have made something like that to spin it i'm fucking spinning it and it's like oh oh oh and i'm like yeah yeah yeah yeah yo spinning shit is fire dude now i think about it one of america's greatest past times spinning tops yo-yo's you like tops dude tops are like bro i'm remember the first time I got my hands on a dradle, I was like, hell!

You. I don't know what any of those stuff means on it. I love when they would do, like, those toys that were like, they, like, you put them on top of a stick and you pull a fucking string and they fly in the air. Yo, I almost killed my sister with one of those ones. Because, like, smacked her in the face? Yeah, because it's like, it was like a little fairy. And then, like, when she spins, her thing opens up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she, like, I fucking rip this thing like a bay blade and it hit her in the eye. Yo, those things are serious. They can really hurt somebody. see the video of it going into the fire. God, it's so good. The dad got it for his daughter as a gift. They spin it and it just slowly flies into the fireplace. Yeah. Ours we were just like rip as hard as we could. Dude, I'm not kidding. In that moment, anytime I've ever used one of those, child to a current adult, I am the strongest person on the planet. I am pulling that thing

with such force and ferocity that it is immeasurable by any societal or scientific standard that we have. That was a long sentence. Big sentence. Big sentence. You'll be fine. You'll be fine. I used to love those though.

Yeah. I'm not fully on board with Project Debug. Project Debug. I have more questions than I, like I hope it can be good and beneficial for people, but we'll fuck this up.

I just don't. I do feel like mosquitoes like me. Everyone likes you. But I think that mosquitoes think, like I have a certain kind of blood. They can smell you. They can go, ooh, he's sweet and sleepless. And then let's go suck his blood.

Yeah. If you're showing that much skin, they got more to bite. Selfishly, selfishly, I don't hate being bitten by mosquitoes because... You think they like you? The fact I got really nice nails. Oh. And I like make it like, I make her, like I convince her and I don't. It doesn't work.

I like to think it works. But like, she's like helping me medicate. Like I'm having a medical emergency. I need you to scratch this mosquito bite. A medical emergency and it's a mosquito bite? That's interesting. Do you ever sit in a place

and like you're like, yo, I'm getting lit up by mosquitoes? And then other people are like, really, I'm good? I'm like, I'm just better than you guys. Yeah, we had this conversation several years back. I'd love that. I love it.

Actually, I don't love it. I also love just like smacking things. Like where else do you get to smack something unapologetically. You can just a butt. Well, unapologetically is crazy. Yeah.

Unapologetically. Yeah. Slapping. That's insane. No sorry here, babe. As hard as I'd like. Um, yeah.

I... But like, you can't slap anywhere anymore. Where were you... Oh, well. What are you talking about? Oh, I'm not talking about, I'm talking about mosquitoes. What did you just do?

Bro, I thought you were doing that. I was like, oh, shit. Oh, you can do. I can also do that. Oh, can you, you can't do that. These are things you've learned about me. I know, but I, I don't know. Frank, you could do a lot of things.

Damn right, baby. Watch this. Whoa. Whoa. That was cool. You want to know why I learned that? The saddest. You're impressed your children?

No, no, no. I saw Tony Stark do it in one of the movies. And I was like, that's pretty cool. And he would like walk around and he'd be like, so I got like cool with it. Because you're Tony Stark. I think better to be fucking Tony Stark than whoever you want to be.

Max Verstappen? Oh, I'm Louis Hamilton. He's getting better at name in them. He knows too. Yeah. I know more. than two, Joey. Yeah, you can.

I absolutely do. Name another one. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna, to prove a point, to stick it to the man. You're the man, and I'm sticking it to you. Ew. You know another one. Just name another one.

The. The. The. Not the. The. The. Maybe it is the. The.

The ver. Thever. Theever. The. Uh. The. The. These nuts on your face.

Thank you. Oh. That was so rude. Technically that was a bad one. He didn't really say anything. Honestly, I love it, though. Can you hit him? I feel I earned that one.

Hit him when it got him. I earned that one. Got him. Oh, my God. I love that. That was great. That was so creative. Take it easy.

Take it easy. It was so creative. You're the judge now. I love that. That was so great. That was so creative. Whoa, dude. Clip that.

Someone clip that, give that to me. That's correct. Give that to me. In charge of the edit. Also, what are you going to do with it? Give that to me, send it to me, blow it up. Zoom in. 10x speed.

10x speed. 10x speed. It's at least 50x speed. No, I was saying 10x speed. No, I know. I know. I know other Formula 1 and Formula 2, drivers. I'm just not going to do this.

I don't even know Formula 2 drivers. Well, maybe you should fucking be a better fan of the sport, Joey. Maybe, yeah. That could be it. Living under the fucking... All you care about is the names, the big names. I care about the smaller drivers that are really trying to make a name for themselves.

So as you sit there and idolize Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton, who jumped ship to play for them, to race for them, drive for them. Right. He jumped ship from I'm not see he he tries to bait me it's a master at it

nice try he made a jerk off joke yeah something else um yeah listen you got me that these nuts that was good it was a while honestly now when I think about it that was kind of it was bad that was not great I feel like leading you

you know you bring a horse to water and this one drank it you know what I mean like he led you right to it went right for it yeah you gotta be more creative with it. I've been writing some down, but I'm I am waiting for the right time. Why cough on these nuts when you could blow my foot? That was such a good one. What was the other one I had? Fuck. The one, Diplow was a good one, the car one that I had. Last time we talked about F1.

College in Connecticut. Yukon. You can. Yeah, yeah. You can suck the Oh, yeah, yeah. Just in case he was double-diff. No, no, no, no, I'm not. Once a Gautom has been done, you can't double-dip on a Gauton. I don't know if you were double-diff. You can't double Gauta. You can't double gotcha.

Right. It's a Gautom to a gotcha. Gatchez are not allowed. If you taped yourself... What's happening? If you tape your hand to an umbrella and go in a tornado, will you fly away? No. Bro, have you ever stood outside with an umbrella?

The thing in Burma... It hurts immediately if it's too fucking... It's such a... Honestly, such a fucking, like, so disappointing that you can't have more fun with umbrellas. What could that mean? I'm not saying that I need to fly, but I need to get... I need to fall slower with an umbrella. Oh, I agree.

Like, it needs to be good to the point that, like, it does something. I'm with you. I think that we should be able to at least do, like... kind of like float jumping at least. Not like flying but like I should be able to be like

jump and land I wonder if there is any measurable difference I'm sure it depends on the umbrella but like I should I'm not saying I need to like Princess Peach on my way down you know what I mean

like it shouldn't be that slow but if I if you and I were to both jump off this desk we should hit it different times because one of us has an umbrella and like not Like a split second. Like a third of a second.

Okay. Like. It's pretty split second. Just something, dude. I just want, like, you know how they walk on the moon? Like anti-gravity? Yeah. We should be able to do that.

I agree. When I was younger, I had such a big jacket and it was super windy. I opened it and held the thing and I got some air. No, you didn't. Bro, this is a made-up story. No, you did. He got a little bit of hair. No, you did.

He does. It's disrespectful. No, you did not. I jumped. I was very young. I had a really big jacket. The wind was very high. And I jumped and I opened my jacket.

I got a little bit of air. My guy, in your head that happened because you're little and young. No, everybody looks. And stupid. Everybody looked and went, whoa. Got some air. How many people were there? It's like four.

Who? Is it my friends? No way. They all go to a different school. No, it was in recess. I did it. I did that. You can't take that from me.

Oh, my guy. He's a boy who flew. Unless it was documented by your fucking school, I'm not believing it, dude. A little bit of air. I got a little bit of lift. You have just a little bit of lift. I mean, me jumping straight up is a little bit of air. Also, why?

If there is wind strong enough to blow away a small child, why are you outside at recess? Yeah, what is this? Hurricane. Yeah, are you fucking a prisoner in your own school? If it's not raining, teachers want a break. It's like send the kids out in the wind, let them fly around. They get a break regardless of if you're inside or outside. No, they don't.

Because they do. Because you got to take care of all the kids in the classroom while you're eating lunch. They don't want to do that. Bro, we've fully used to go outside in a schoolyard with, like, like open gates on both sides. And the teachers were just like... They had bouncers, though. Did they?

I mean, they had like teachers that would stand there. I don't remember that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They would have them staying at the edge and say, hey, you gotta, don't go in there. Don't go out there. So, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
